DOMESTIC GARBAGE-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 264,920, dated September26, 1882, u

' Application filed February 12, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it mag concern: Beit known that I, AGRIPPA NELsoN BELL, ofGarden City, Queens county, and State of New York, have invented acertain new and useful Improvement in Domestic Garbage- Burners, ofwhich the following is a specification. 7

My invention relates to a device for burning the garbage which collectsabout a kitchen, whether liquid or solid in form, in a way whichprevents odor and does not clog. or dampen the tire over which it isburned.

The invention will be understood as set forth in the followingdescription and claims.

The accompanying drawings form a part of this specification, andillustrate what I consider the best means of carrying the invention intopractice.

Figure 1,is an elevation of the device, apart being in section. Fig. 2is a perspective view of the dumping device with the wings tripped. Fig.3 is a similar view with the wings up. Fig. 4 is apiece of the exteriorvessel, showing a hook on which certain parts rest.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures.

A is the lid, formed with the lip 0 extending downward near the edgeinto the condensertrap 13, whichis formed around the top of the kettleO. The kettle O is provided with handies 0 on the opposite sides ofoutside, and on the inside, a considerable way down, it'has the hooks01, four in number, to support the dumping-frame. In the bottom thekettle is provided with the ring P, extending both inside and out,forming on the inside the catchbasin '0, into which the waterfalls andis evaporated. Exterior to the bottom it forms a means for setting intothe stove-hole. The heat and flames from the stove beneath enter freelythe opening formed by the band.

A pail, (J, rests upon the rim of the kettle U and extends down into thekettle. It is conical in formand punctured, as shown at m,

and provided with the bail 0, by which it is lifted in or out. It isopen at bottom and top, but has a movable bottom furnished by thesmaller end resting over the dumping-plates E E, which swing in theframe D D. The sides D D of the frame have curved ends, which rest inthe hooks d on the inner side of the kettle. tion. To these the Win gs EE are rigidly fastened. The rod H extends out through the side of thekettle through the stuiiiing-box I, and is provided with the crank J andhandle N. At the opposite ends the rods outside of the part D are fittedwith the crank-levers F, f, and 9, having a joint between each part. Byturning these, as shown in Fig. 2., the wings E are tripped and thecontents of the pail O aredumped; but by turning them as shown in Fig. 3the wings E form a bottom for the pail U and retain the contents.

The garbage to be burned is placed in the pail (J; the wings E beingclosed, the coarser, solid parts are retained in the pail, while theliquid escapes through the punctures a: into the catch-basin v, wherethey are evaporated by heat from below. A ready access of heat isinsured through-the opening formed by the ring I. The heat acts upon thebase of the pail and along its sides, a liberal space being had byreason of the tapering form of the pail, and the contents of the pailare deprived of all their moisture and may be dumped into the firethrough the trap E, or be taken out and used for kindling material. Thewater which has fallen into the basin 2; will be readily evaporated. Asecure position of the pail is insured by the ledge Z, which rests uponthe top of the pail. Anysteam generated in the devicearises against thetop lid, A, and is condensed and runs down into the pan B.

The dumping-bottom is retained in position, when raised, byslipping thering L over the handle N. The ring is supported from the margin of thepan B by means of the hook K and chain M, which is ofjust sufficientlength to bring the link to the right height.

What I claim is-- i 1. In a garbage-burner, the combination, with thekettle 0, having an aperture in the base for the admission of the flameand heat, of the straining-pail O and dumping-bottom, substantially asset forth.

2. The combination of the kettle 0, cover A, base-aperture, and insertedring P, extending both inside and outside of the bottom, forming astove-ring on the outside and partitioning off the liquid-chamber v onthe inside, with the perforated conical pail G and remova- The rods G Hform their connec-.

ble or dumping bottom, substantially as set forth. o

3. The kettle 0, provided with the chamber 1) and drip-chamber B, incombination with The cover A, having the lip a inserted in thedrip-chamber 13, and with the strainer 0, provided with adumping-bottom, substantially as set forth.

4. In a garbage-burner of the kind described, the combination, with thekettle 0, having suitable supporting means for the dumpingframe, andwith the strainer O, of the dumping-frame 1) D, dumping-wings E E,shafts H G, and coni'lecting-levers F f g, as set forth.

5. The kettle 0, provided with the ring 1?, 15

in combination with the pail O and dumpingbottom, as set forth.

6. The garbageburner described, consisting of the kettle 0, providedwith pan B and ring P, in combination With pail C 00 and dumping- 20ANDREW G. MYERS, F. PENNoYER.
